I will forever be mindful of what and who I am allowing into my space.” – Alex Elle Starting a new fitness journey or joining a new community of people can be incredibly intimidating.

It could absolutely flourish and you can make the most of the journey by surrounding yourself with people who support you and build you up.

One of our core values at District H Strength & Fitness is professionalism. In everything that we do at District H, we approach it with the mentality of “what is the gold standard in our industry for this particular decision?” One of the most obvious examples would be coaching. When Dustin and I were building our original business plan for District H, one of the biggest priorities were to find the very best coaches and create opportunities for those individuals to have careers at District H.

At first, I was the slowest, most out of shape, and uncoordinated individual at the gym. There were woman double my...Read more
